Very clever.

I hope it isn't true, though given her figure people will be quick to believe it.

Given The National Enquirer is the most criticized in this regard the paper did break the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter story almost 12 months before Edwards admitted to it on TV. It was even floated that the Enquirer should have won a Pulitzer for their investigation.
the National Enquirer also had a few other scoops, like The Sun, unfairly criticised for made up stories. Something the snobbish look down on (whilst liking to read and comment on their stories)
Whilst the Enquirer is more supermarket tabloid than Daily newspaper, I would not always dismiss what it comes up with.
With The Sun and the press laws in this country, an Editor would have to be satisfied with the sources of a story before it was ran. I could not call them claiming I have slept with some star and expect the story in the next days paper. Too many people have a sneering attitude to the tabloids, yet they break many a good story, not just showbiz ones, thinking Andrew Mitchell and Plebgate recently.
Regarding the injunction it is wrong for judges to decide what they think is in the public interest or not, again this is their snobbish attitude coming through.
I was not aware that France has some pretty tough privacy laws and President Mitterand used this to hide a long term affair and a love child. As said previously, celebs today, politicians tomorrow. I would rather the press police themselves than rely on unelected judges or politician's.
The public decide on what is in their interests, end of.

There's a difference between being in the public interest and what the public is interested in
Some quotes on the case I agreed with:
The judge who supported that it be lifted said 'the court must live in the world as it is and not as it would like to be'
Media and ethics Professor Tim Crook said 'judhes and courtrooms must avoid becoming state censors of public information'
I suppose it is just one one of those things you either agree with or you don't. I personally feel it sets a dangerous precedent where judges decide on what you are and are not allowed to read. Plus the British press are the only media outlet in the world that cannot publish these details,with even China doing so. Ridiculous

I hope this isn't an actor who played a part in a long-running show about two brothers chasing demons. I don't know if he's ever appeared in a legendary TV show, though, but he's done a lot of TV. He certainly comes across as being quite liberal on his Facebook page.
Also, the royal with eating problems. I can't see the latest addition going to group sessions or her husband's aunt. Her husband's cousin or another aunt by marriage might do so, though.

Depending on which brother, stars hollow might be considered legendary? given its fanfare over the revival

Oh please. lets not pretend that the tabloids have some altruistic interest in publishing these stories, for the greater public good. The Sun has had an on-off feud with a certain person for years. plus these papers know that gossip sells papers, regardless of whether its factual.

It is a little hard to see the owner of The Sun as either a poor victim of the powerful or as a champion of the truth.
From CDAN:
I give the "relationship" another week between this foreign born celebrity and A+ list singer. Maybe two weeks if they try and spin things or if she can't get the details quickly enough, but what happened last night is going to open a whole bunch of boxes.

As has been said even a broken clock is right twice a day, so some scandal rags have it right some times , the rest they go to print with innuendo and rumour on the front page and when they are found to be wrong they apologise somewhere on page 30
The press should police themselves, but sadly all too often they do not as can be seen by this story that they are fighting to release allegedly in our interests but supressing a senior politicians liaisons with various dubious sex workers when he had a very important part of their (the media) future in his hands . Now can we really trust that same press when it comes to what they think is in our interests ?
I personally couldn't give a stuff about the couple in question but I do care about what our press has become and especially one publication in this instance who has for a long time wanted revenge on one of the people due to them winning in court against them before when they deliberately ran a story they knew not to be true, and not only knew to be untrue made it as vile as possible thinking that person would not want to go to court in case there was anything in his life that he didn't want to come out. That publication doesn't want to print this in the public interest it's owners wants a long awaited revenge and that is not what the press is for and that is worth fighting against

AGC suggests a rapper whose alias includes the German word for "yes".

I guess they'll never ever get back together? His accident sounds suspicious.

Exactly. He seemed to have a few injuries that needed taking care of but he checked out.

Perhaps the tests would show stuff in his system, i mean he is a DJ. Stereotypes exist for a reason.

Anyone got any clues about this one, please?
Any ideas of the married former world champion, now retired, boxer who met a prostitute and asked for cocaine? There is currently an injunction preventing this story being publiched in England And Wales.
Another example of the rich manipulating the ridiculous UK laws

If the person concerned is involved in anti drugs campaigns and promotes fidelity then to me he lost the right to privacy, if however he has never then it is only really of interest to his wife and maybe the police on the drugs front.
I have to say having seen the ladies pic in the Daily Mail I am surprised she was happy for them to use that photo

He's a DJ that's just been in a car accident and she's a US singer who is fast.
